Specification of Letters Patent.

T all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, EDUARD KLUGE, a subject of the King of Prussia, and resident of Leipzig, Germany, have invented certainv new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for Unoiling Steam and the like, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved apparatus for separating oil from. steam, of the kind having corrugated or zigzag-shaped walls with a straight strainerbetween each two walls.

The object of the invention is to so arrange said strainer that it is in direct contact with both its adjacent walls, while the latter are zigzag-shaped or corrugatedat rather obtuse angles, so that at the contact points between the strainer. and walls a plurality of small chambers withclosed sharpangled ends are produced on both sides of the strainer, in which the oil settles withoutbeing again driven along by thesteam current, owing to said chambers lying practically beyond the latter.

/ At their contact points with the strainers, the walls may form short flattenings, parallel with the walls, so as to allow an easy mounting of bolts with spacing members thereon for keeping theuarrangement in place.

The accompanying drawing shows the improved apparatus in diagrammatical sections. p

in which the contact points between, the strainers and walls form sharp corners, while Fig. 2 is part of another form, in which the walls are flattened, parallel to the strainers, at their contact points with ratus.

the latter; Fig. 3 shows the whole appa- Figure 1 is part of one form of the same,

a are the zigzag-shaped walls of rather obtuse angles, 6 the straight strainers between each two walls in direct contact with the latter, 0 the chambers with closed sharpangled ends on both sides of the strainers,

(Z the short flattenings at the contact points.

between walls and strainers, through which bolts 6 with spacing members f thereon may be passed for holding the arrangement in place.

so I Steam flows through the apparatus in the direction of the arrows shown in' Figs. 1 and 2.

lVhat Iclaim, is

1. In an. apparatus for separating oil from steam, the combination of parallel zig zag-shaped walls of rather obtuse angles, a straight strainer between each two adjacent walls in direct contact with the latter, and a plurality of small chambers with closed sharp-angled ends formed at the contact points between the walls and strainers on both sides of the latter, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. In an apparatus for separating oil from steam, the combination of parallel zigzag-shapedwalls of rather obtuse angles, a straight strainer between each two adjacent walls in direct contact with the latter, a plurality of small chambers with closed sharp-angled ends formed at the contact points between the walls and strainers on both sidesof; the latter, and short flattenings at said contact points formed on said walls parallel to said strainers, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
